For me the sensory experience of looking and touching the ceramic objects intertwines with in word suggest. It ceramics, as integration and the surface in space, to pose questions about these placement, movement and perception.

I make poems for eye and the hand. Composite arrangements at support fired layers of color. Most of my works have remained intimate in scale, and nod the tactile and visual potential of clay surfaces.

My ceramic work continues to display geometries influenced by organic possibilities natural to ceramics. Surfaces on sculptures and the utilitarian pieces as line drawings in wet thrown porcelain during the 1970’s. Color and value further differentiate real and implied space. Surface patterns, visual trails left by repetitive hand motions, lead the eye over shadows and enveloped spaces.
